Since I am in Hokkaido, I tried Kamikawa Taisetsu, which I have been curious about for a while! There is a directly managed store in Sapporo that offers tasting for a fee, about 0.75 gou or so for 440-550 yen, served in Riedel glasses. The owner also taught me a lot of things and we had a good conversation. I was told that Kamikawa Taisetsu is mainly fired by one flame, which gave me a fresh impression. I compared a few of them, so I'll give you my impressions in short. Tokachi Key KEG I appreciate drinking KEG's fresh sake at this time of the year 🥹 It is fresh, sweet, sharp, and tasty. Kamikawa Taisetsu Organic Ginpu This was amazing, full-bodied with a yellow tinge! Full-bodied with a yellow tinge, it was as fresh as KEG, fruity, sweet and sour, and delicious. Pricey, but I took it home! Tokachi with cheese Unlike the above, this sake is quite rich and the cheese is the sake! Kamikawa Taisetsu is delicious! I've been avoiding it because it's a bit pricey, but I'll buy the regular Tokujun too!

Tokachi Junmai" @Sapporo 720ml 1,760yen Recommended sake for first class passengers on JAL domestic flights. 70% polished rice, but with a strong flavor and sharpness without any cloying taste. Hekiungura's brewing water is a medium-hard, mineral-rich water from the Fudanai River system, which originates in the Hidaka Mountains and has been repeatedly named the clearest river in Japan. Three types of sake rice are used: "Comet," "Ginpu," and "Kitashizuku," all of which are suitable for sake brewing in Hokkaido. In 2016, the sake brewing company in Mie Prefecture, which had suspended sake production, was relocated to Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, where the Sounkyo hot spring is located at the foot of the Daisetsuzan mountain range and is visited by approximately 2 million people annually, to establish Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery Co. As the only sake brewery in Japan located on a university campus, it was named after the student dormitory (Hekiunryo) of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. The pentagonal family crest is designed to represent the five tastes of sake: sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent, using the character for "big" in Daisetsuzan, beautiful snow, and an Ainu pattern as design motifs.
